Hunter boots are waterproof rubber boots built for the South African autumn and winter rain. The brand made its name on the classic tall wellington, and many shoppers know the style as hunter gumboots or hunter wellingtons: a moulded, fully waterproof boot that keeps feet dry through downpours, muddy gardens and wet commutes.

If you search for gumboots, gum boots or wellingtons, this is the same family of footwear. For the wider selection of waterproof styles beyond the Hunter label, see our rain boots range, which covers gumboots and wellingtons for women.

The range spans tall boots that sit below the knee and shorter ankle styles, in classic black alongside brighter colours. Tall pairs suit heavier rain and longer walks, while ankle heights work for everyday wear in lighter showers.

Hunter boots are known for a durable rubber build and a textile lining for comfort. Many styles come in full sizes only, so if you are between sizes it is usually best to take the half size down.
